No idea, not played anything Squenix made in that timeframe. DQ11 and FF7R look like good games, though.

Why because it's not turn based?

As much as I know I am going to LOVE FF16, Zelda probably has this in the bag bro.

Div 3 won't stand a chanceIdk about that OP....
Between this game and FFXVI, obvious the choice might not be.

It will probably win the TGA popularity contest but that doesn't mean it actually IS the greatest game of the year.

The same reviewers which are responsible for giving every mainline Mario and Zelda under the sun a 10/10 for the past 2 and a half decades. Totally not biased.

I could easily see FF16 scoring in the mid 90's. FF16 combat director is the same as DMC 5. Critics gave DMC 5 an 87, even with its obvious short comings, the games combat was resoundingly beloved. Also, Yoshida is running around the gaming circuit as if FF16 is some kind of magnum opus to his career. Not to mention the game went gold 3 months before release, so it should be exceptionally well polished

I'd argue Zelda is looking a lot more interesting in scale and overall delivery then anything else so far. It actually runs without any major bugs for one, a rarity in this day and age of gaming.
I don't know what it is, but every trailer I've seen for FF16 just feels very flat. Not sure if it's the delivery of the game, or the aesthetic being very much FF14, but it just doesn't feel "alive" if that makes sense. But hey, you are keen OP and that's all that matters for your enjoyment!

In that case you probably should have added "My GOTY" in the thread title.

The first few hours was the best true RPG experience I had from the games I've played since.... Mass Effect 3 (minus the ending) and Fallout: New Vegas. I didn't like the first Original Sin story-wise and decided not to play the second one cuz of that reason.
I mean, obviously, gameplay-wise these games will be vastly different, but to choose the best RPG of the year at the end of it will for sure won't be an easy task for me. When it comes to GOTY though... I haven't played a GOTY-level game this year yet.

So...the majority of websites are biased? Most of the big publications are saying it's a 9.5 or higher. GOD YOU'RE RIGHT! IT'S CONSPIRACY!
I feel like you're the one that more biased than the reviews and Final Fantasy is my favorite overall series. So, don't think I'm not hyped for it, just don't be disappointed when (or if) it doesn't win all the GOTY nods. I'm sure it will win a few tho.

They are biased when it comes to certain IPs yes. Biased journalism isn't anything new. Explain how The Last Jedi got top scores by reviewers whilst got completely dunked on by user reviews.

TotK is currently sitting at a 97. Add to the fact Zelda has always been the critical darling of the gaming industry, I can guarantee you there is almost no scenario at this point where FFXVI takes GotY.
The only way it has a chance is if they deliver a truly remarkable story. Like GoW and TLOU levels of storytelling. Something that deeply impacts the emotions of critics and players.
I think a more reasonable wish to have at this point, is whether or not FFXVI is the best FF since the Golden Age of the series (IV - X)

Easy: Everyone has an opinion and everyone was pissed that the game's performance was shit when it launched. I don't usually go by reviews when it comes to what I want to play, but if THIS many publications are singing this the praises of a game...chances are the game is pretty good.
User Reviews can also be skewed because people like to review bomb, so I trust those even less nowadays.

It'll be my GOTY most likely but it'll be Zelda as usual, overhyped as fuck

FF, 7, 8, 9, 10 all transcended GOTY many decades ago by entering the realm of GOTF, Game Of The Forever.We already had an ultimate GOTY Final Fantasy...

I dont see anything beating Zelda.
It looks amazing and will probably be my GOTY but it gets hate from its own fanbase let alone others. Plus the whole each Icon battle is different means alot could go wrong

sounds pretty badass to me, I'll take it
others can wallow in their nostalgia for Meg Ryan's turned based cringe adventure

Nothing I've seen from XVI so far really blows me away. I prefer the aesthetic to XV and the graphics are nice, but aside from that, it doesn't do much for me. Besides, all the videos they've put out make me feel like I've already seen too much.

It barely looks like a Final Fantasy game ....but I hope is a good game nevertheless

No chance. Quote me on this.

Only because it isn't turn based.
To me it looks like a action based real time adaptation of traditional FF. The FF DNA is still there it's just modernised.

If you prioritised gameplay it would blow you away.

As someone who still plays ugly-ass games like Dark Souls on the regular, but can't get through Horizon Forbidden West, I can tell you, my priorities aren't with the pretties. People can just want different things from gameplay. Honestly, I the combat in FFXVI looks too busy and overwrought for me and character upgrade stuff looks kinda rote. Some people will totally dig it and I'm really happy for them, but I'm just not sure it's for me, based on what we've seen so far.
